GOOD FRIDAY TRACK RACING 2026

Full Gas Cycling are excited to announce the return of Good Friday track racing! For 2026 the event will maintain it’s UCI Class 2 status, attracting elite riders from the UK, Europe and North America. Over the years the event has been graced by Stuart O’Grady, Bradley Wiggins, Sean Yates and in more recent years, Alex Dowsett, Matt Richardson & Ben Swift. The 2026 event once again gives riders the chance to write their own names alongside these legends of cycling.

Good Friday Racing retains its unique, truly ‘open’ event status, welcoming entries from local clubs, elite development teams, and International riders. The programme accommodates more than 100 riders and features Elite Men’s UCI Sprint, Elite Men’s Endurance, featuring the world famous Golden Wheel scratch race, Elite Women’s Endurance, and competitive support endurance and sprint groups. 

RACE ENTRIES

UCI ENDURANCE ENTRIES
All riders wishing to ride the event must enter through the Full Gas website. The first wave of entries will close on 28th February at which point your entry will be officially accepted or rejected. The final wave of entries will close on 29th March. Spaces are limited to 24 riders per group.

UCI SPRINT & SUPPORT SPRINT ENTRIES
Working similarly to the UCI endurance events, the first wave of entries will close on 28th February, at which point your entry will be officially accepted or rejected. The final wave of entries will close on 29th March. Spaces will be limited to 32 riders total and will be split into two groups after the qualifying stage. The top 16 go through to the UCI competition and the remaining 16 to a non-UCI support event. Entries will close on 29th March. First year Junior (under 18 years at the time of the event) and Women’s entries are accepted; however, regardless of their result from the qualifying round, they will automatically go through to the non-UCI Support event.

SUPPORT ENDURANCE ENTRIES
Support Endurance events will be on a first come first served basis. Entries will close 29th March. Spaces are limited to 28 riders per endurance group.
